These mountains mock me
I hear them
Whispering in their false tongues
Forked as each trail
They know my path
But they lead me astray at
Every moment
Hie on, she said to me
And carry on I have
Through fields and rain
These wilds they speak, forbidden
Glacial tongues that grip me

Oh, ennoble my facade

Apotheosis of these heathen claims
They beckon
But carry naught but decay in their wake
Come chimes, I pray for thee
Whence comes the dark I fear
What could be birthed from that gaping void
A face I know approaches
What choice?
I cannot retreat

Why do you carry my facade?

Come, I beg, steel my flesh again
My heart, it shakes in this wood that listens
Come, angel, guide my hands again
When crack these masks, their faces will show
Incarnation of sin, what right have you to my fall?
I claim this right for thee, I beckon
And triumphant I'll stand o'er bodies of dust and bone
Come, false deities, I beg you and I
Name you Ash and Stone

Sojourner, shake and tremble
Feel the fire in your heart wither
Gods more ancient than you know
Call this realm home
And will not be swayed by yours
With earth and stone you will fall
With dust and air you will choke
Your countenance raised will see no light
Only roots and earth that bind

Oh, angel of dreams
Aid your paragon
Surely your grace is so blinding
Surely these horrors cannot stand

Call your victor, Sojourner
Call your winged excuse
It matters not for thee
Thy will is not to be done
With soil and smoke you will fall
With ash and darkness remain
The bitter fruit you bear
No lips will ever again stain

Oh, but I know
I am more than just a counterpart
Angel they'll feel our light
We are the truth, we are works of art

Angel of this sojourner's dreams
Know we not your journey
Our battle concerns you not
But no choice were we given
With ash and stone we are named
With ash and stone you have failed
Sojourner, cast thy weapon aside
And tend thy wounds

Come, I beg, steel my heart again
My hands, they shake in this wood that listens
Come, angel, guide my light again
When crack this mask, my tears they will flow
Incarnation of sin, what right have you to her fall?
I claim this right for thee, I promise
And triumphant you stand o'er bodies of light and blood
Come, false deities, I beg you and I
Name you Ash and Stone
